Representative Jim Moran comes from Virginia's 8th congressional district, and has been in office for 18 years already. The 8th includes the close in suburbs of DC on the Virginia side of the Potomac. It is home to many government workers and is exceeding friendly to the Democrats. In other words, even in 2010, the Democrat is not under much pressure from the GOP. So that leads to a big question: where do folks like Moran come from? Who, if anyone, ever taught them about reality?
Earlier this week, Moran spoke at a fundraiser where he said, “What [Republicans] do is find candidates, usually stealth candidates, that haven’t been in office, haven’t served or performed in any kind of public service. My opponent [Murray] is typical, frankly.”
That Republican, Patrick Murray, served 24 years in the army and left a colonel. So Moran (or better Moron) thinks that 24 years in the US Army is not "any kind of public service"? Putting your life on the line for your country is not public service? Going overseas to a war zone to protect Americans is not a public service? Wow!
Moran is an idiot. The truth is that his comments could be better paraphrased this way: "What Democrats do is find candidates, usually smug liberal ones, that haven't ever worked anywhere other than on the public payroll as some kind of bureaucrat or other functionary in Washington, people who have no real life experience. Moran is typical, frankly."
The race in Virigina 8th is not close according to the polls. Hopefully, however, this smear by Moran against those who have served this country admirably will not go unpunished. Let's hope that the voters realize that Moran is a moron who does not deserve to be in congress.
